I often think about students religious identity in the school where I work. All students must be catholic to attend the school and I can see how that creates a school where many students have the same ideas around religion. We are beginning to do a better job of exposing our students to other religions and faiths, but I am always concerned with how we are doing this. Are we deepening their understanding of different faiths while also strengthen their faith as well, or are we just scratching the surface? Do our students who come from a multifaith background feel like they can be transparent with that information about themselves or are they feeling like that is a part of themselves that they need to “hide” in order to be accepted by others in the community?
